41 Lies of Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz is a very accomplished liar. Unlike Ben Carson, the lies of Ted Cruz are often clever and mixed with some half truths and distortions. So far Ted Cruz has told at least 41 lies. Under Sharia law Ted Cruz would either have his tongue cut out or his head chopped off.

When Ted Cruz called Mitch McConnell a liar the first thing that popped into my head was, "It takes on to know one."

TED CRUZ

TED CRUZ

The Iran deal "trusts the Iranians to inspect themselves." Up to 150 international inspectors within nine months.

TED CRUZ

"Every year we spend roughly $500 billion on tax compliance. That is roughly the budget of our entire military, entirely wasted on tax compliance."

TED CRUZ

"Every year we spend roughly $500 billion on tax compliance. That is roughly the budget of our entire military, entirely wasted on tax compliance."
